If I lived on an island, was stranded alone,
Would I survive? Would my heart turn to stone?
Could I live without friends who provide love and care?
I’m not meant for an island with no one to share.
My friends share the good times, rejoice when I’m glad.
They’re with me in sorrow whenever I’m sad.
My friends give encouragement, help me survive.
Refreshed by their friendship I’m fully alive.
Surrounded by friends I find comfort and hope.
The prayers of my friends lift me up, help me cope.
The Lord is our hope, and we all share His love.
Our hope is in glory, our home is above.
I pray that I too am considered a friend,
Return every kindness, help others to mend.
